The "Spreading Democracy" Domino Theory

Remember the Domino Theory promoted by the administrations of the 50's, 60's, and 70's? Succinctly, it posited that one comunist nation in a region would influence another nation to turn communist, then another would follow that one, and so on, like a row of falling dominoes.
